HAVING PROTEIN ON THE HCG DIET

The high protein diet can be done during weight maintenance or
after the HCG weight loss. Consider not only the amount of protein that you are
going to have. You have to include the quality of the protein choice that you
are going to eat. The best choice of protein is those that have high-biologic
value. This is because it will be easily digested and be used by the body.

What
is protein and how does it help the body?

Protein is one of the macronutrients that are beneficial for
the body and weight loss. This is important in every cell of the body. Proteins
are helpful in building the cells and maintain muscle health. Thus, the HCG
diet does not touch any single mass of the muscle. It maintains the integrity
and the health of muscle as it burns the stubborn fats. High protein diet is
helpful not just in maintaining the weight loss but also in keeping the
fullness of the stomach. This allows the body to prevent starving or hunger
pains. See to it that your protein content in your meal will not exceed in the
caloric requirements of the HCG diet. You have to be watchful especially in the
very low-calorie diet phase.

much protein to include in the diet?

A high protein diet normally calls for 1.5 gram of protein
each serving. Some of the safety proteins you can have for weight loss
maintenance are eggs, poultry, and meat. You can also have soybeans in a
limited amount. The protein choices during the VLCD must be fat-free. See to it
that you have control and taken off the visible fats before cooking. Each meal
serving of protein must be weighed before cooking. This is to observe the
proper food portioning that is needed for weight loss.

After the HCG diet, you need to be effective in managing the
mealtime as well as the meal option. You have to eat breakfast on time as well
as properly have food portioning for the entire meal schedule. This is to help
the body get enough nutrients and calories. The right time, kind and frame of
mind are also needed in each meal setting. It can help a dieter to be mindful
in eating. Being mindful in eating will help a dieter to focus on the foods and
its content. It will prevent you from loading too many calories. Remember that
the last meal of the day must b taken in 3 hours before going to sleep. It will
help the body to have enough time for digestion and distribution of nutrients.
